Atrophy on the face caused by cortisone shots (photo)

January 29, 2025
Asked By:AliceAnna in Miami, Florida

I had injected hyaluronidase combined with steroid to break down a filler( on the left side 2 times one week apart, right side one time- he said that used a really small amount).I wasn’t told about the side effects and around 6 weeks ago the areas started to sink.I’m really depressed about it and want to correct the problem.I made 2 sessions of Prp nothing changed.Another doctor proposed to inject BP serum High to break the atrophic tissue and after injecting filler. Is that the best decision?
